Summer evening cardigan

Description

I just finished cardigan from 03/2012, no. 107. I decided to try really very soft jersey, and … what to say, in the process of making buttonholes I used a lot of “not lady like” words…. luckily buttonholes are not visable. So, on the end, I am sure I will wear it a lot.

thank you. I like even that aspect, ist expressing frustrations over subject which can not be offended. The day I was making my cardigan my bf at one point asked me if I am addressing this frustrations to cardigan on to him… so, I was so frustrated that I just replied: TO BOTH!…. :)

I like this pattern very much but I haven’t even traced it yet because of the buttonholes. I’ m thinking to cut the placket from a stable material. You were very brave to attempt making buttonholes on jersey, and the result is definetely rewarding. You have a sweet “lady like” catrdigan:)

its really nice pattern, very very lady like. And I wouldnt call myself brave, just not experienced. Recently I heard one scientist commenting his big invention, and he said: “why I tried?! I dont know, its just that I didnt know its impossible”… so you see, I just did not know its difficult

nice cardigan you`ve made there ! I made it also and I forgot to write on my post here on Burdastyle that I did my buttonholes myself by hand as my sewing machine was completely against my lacy knit ( also a lot of "not so lady like " words :) )
